All i have to add is that my coyote only averages 17.0 mpg. I commute 50 miles in moderate/heavy traffic daily, so I don't get to beat on it. The 20+ mpg is a MYTH!

The only diff is the tvs car has about 15-20 passes and this vortech car had 2 .... They were ran that day and went faster on just those 2 passes then the tvs car .

Here's were I get to smile and laugh @84Ttop and say it pays to be on the inside Lol !

This thread really snowballed......I'm kinda wishing I considered the coyote route before, but it's too late now. I ended up with this list of parts

TFS 11r 190 heads
Tfs r series 90 mm intake
TFs track max cam 224/232 542/563
Tfs Chromo pushrods
FRPP roller lifters
Jp performance timing gears and chain
90mm lighting MAF
Comp HE alum rockers
47# FRPP injectors
ARP hardware all around

Decided to get my block disassembled and dipped at a local machine shop. It didn't meet their tolerances to be re assembled so Now it's getting bored .030 over. New bearings all around. I'll hopefully be assembling in late jan.
Here's a pic of my car looking all empty and sad
And another looking sexy last summer
